# Which Problems Are Solved
This PR introduces robust redirect configuration options and enhances
security for Server Actions in multi-domain setups.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Redirect Fallback Logic: Implemented a unified `resolveRedirectUri`
utility that prioritizes redirect targets as follows:
- Environment override (`DEFAULT_REDIRECT_URI`)
- Organization settings (`defaultRedirectUri`).
- Relative fallback (`/signedin?...`).
- Host Reflection: `DEFAULT_REDIRECT_URI` supports absolute URLs or
relative paths via host reflection.
- Server Action Security: Configured `serverActions.allowedOrigins` to
be dynamically manageable via the `SERVER_ACTION_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`
environment variable (comma-separated list). It defaults to an empty
list for maximum security.
- UI Integration: Updated the /signedin page to use the unified redirect
logic, ensuring consistent behavior for the "Continue" button.
- Documentation: Added type definitions and detailed descriptions for
new environment variables in
`next-env-vars.d.ts`

# Which Problems Are Solved
The first input field on login screens is not automatically focused,
requiring users to manually click before typing. This creates
unnecessary friction during the login flow, particularly for
keyboard-oriented users and accessibility scenarios.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Added the `autoFocus` prop to the first `TextInput` in all 12 login
form components.
- For forms with conditionally rendered first inputs
(`set-password-form` and `register-form-idp-incomplete`), `autoFocus` is
set dynamically so the correct field receives focus depending on which
input is visible.

# Which Problems Are Solved
This PR refactors the SAML Post binding flow to address issues with
payloads exceeding browser cookie size limits (typically ~4KB).
Previously, the SAML form data was serialized into a cookie, and the
user was redirected to an intermediate /saml-post page to render the
form. This approach failed for large SAML assertions.
# How the Problems Are Solved
The new implementation bypasses cookies entirely for the payload
transfer. Server actions now return the form data directly to the
client, which immediately renders and submits the form.
- Direct Data Transfer: Updated `startIdentityProviderFlow` to return an
object { url, fields } instead of a redirect URL when the next step is
formData.
- Server Actions: Updated redirectToIdp, sendLoginname, and
completeAuthFlow to propagate this samlData object to the client.
- Client-Side Auto-Submission: Added a new AutoSubmitForm component that
renders a hidden form with the provided fields and automatically submits
it to the IdP on mount.

# Which Problems Are Solved
This PR addresses an issue where the ignoreUnknownUsernames setting was
not being respected in certain scenarios during the login flow.
Specifically:
- When a user was found but rejected due to login settings (e.g.,
disableLoginWithEmail), the system would return a "User not found" error
instead of redirecting to the password page as dictated by
ignoreUnknownUsernames.
- When a user was not found, and the flow fell through the registration
checks (e.g., IDP redirect failed), it would also return "User not
found" without checking ignoreUnknownUsernames.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Introduced a helper function `handleUserNotFound` in
`apps/login/src/lib/server/loginname.ts` to centralize the logic for
checking ignoreUnknownUsernames and redirecting to the password page.
- Updated the user validation logic to call handleUserNotFound when a
user is found but rejected by policy.
- Updated the registration fallback logic to call handleUserNotFound
instead of directly returning an error.
- Added new test cases in `apps/login/src/lib/server/loginname.test.ts`
to verify the fix and ensure no regressions.
# Additional Changes
- Fixed inconsistency in translation files

The /login route was experiencing issues with React Server Component
(RSC) requests interfering with one-time authentication callbacks. When
users navigated to /login via client-side routing (router.push()),
Next.js automatically triggered _rsc requests that could consume
single-use createCallback tokens, breaking OIDC and SAML authentication
flows.
# Which Problems Are Solved
When users attempt to log in, Next.js automatically makes requests with
the `_rsc=1` query parameter for React Server Components. The current
implementation treats these as server errors:
```typescript
// Before
if (_rsc) {
return NextResponse.json({ error: "No _rsc supported" }, { status: 500 });
}
```
This results in:
- Spurious 500 error logs polluting monitoring systems
- False alerts for server failures
- Difficulty distinguishing real issues from benign RSC requests
# How the Problems Are Solved
This PR implements a comprehensive refactoring that:
- Eliminates RSC interference by providing server actions for internal
auth flow completion
- Separates concerns between external flow initiation and internal flow
completion
- Extracts shared utilities to improve code maintainability and
reusability
- Maintains full backward compatibility for external applications
# Additional Context
## New Architecture
- auth-flow.ts: Shared utilities for auth flow completion with RSC
protection
- flow-initiation.ts: Extracted OIDC/SAML flow initiation logic (~400
lines)
- auth.ts: Server actions for internal components
## Route Handler Simplification
- route.ts: Reduced from ~350 lines to ~75 lines
- External-only focus: Now handles only flow initiation for external
applications
- Removed completion logic: External apps use their own callback URLs
- Enhanced validation: Early RSC blocking and parameter validation
## Flow Logic Improvements
- Early return patterns: Guard clauses eliminate deep nesting
- Better error handling: Specific error messages for different failure
modes
- Fixed SAML flow: Addressed incomplete logic
- Consistent session handling: Unified approach across OIDC and SAML
# Which Problems Are Solved
- Most inputs have hardcoded label
# How the Problems Are Solved
- add usage of i18n library for every label
- add labels to i18n translation files
# Additional Changes
- fixed key used in `device-code-form.tsx` by submit button
- `v2-default.json` was update and contains all values from login app
not only newly added key for labels.

# Which Problems Are Solved
- The previous monorepo in monorepo structure for the login app and its
related packages was fragmented, complicated and buggy.
- The process for building and testing the login container was
inconsistent between local development and CI.
- Lack of clear documentation as well as easy and reliable ways for
non-frontend developers to reproduce and fix failing PR checks locally.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Consolidated the login app and its related npm packages by moving the
main package to `apps/login/apps/login` and merging
`apps/login/packages/integration` and `apps/login/packages/acceptance`
into the main `apps/login` package.
- Migrated from Docker Compose-based test setups to dev container-based
setups, adding support for multiple dev container configurations:
- `.devcontainer/base`
- `.devcontainer/turbo-lint-unit`
- `.devcontainer/turbo-lint-unit-debug`
- `.devcontainer/login-integration`
- `.devcontainer/login-integration-debug`
- Added npm scripts to run the new dev container setups, enabling exact
reproduction of GitHub PR checks locally, and updated the pipeline to
use these containers.
- Cleaned up Dockerfiles and docker-bake.hcl files to only build the
production image for the login app.
- Cleaned up compose files to focus on dev environments in dev
containers.
- Updated `CONTRIBUTING.md` with guidance on running and debugging PR
checks locally using the new dev container approach.
- Introduced separate Dockerfiles for the login app to distinguish
between using published client packages and building clients from local
protos.
- Ensured the login container is always built in the pipeline for use in
integration and acceptance tests.
- Updated Makefile and GitHub Actions workflows to use
`--frozen-lockfile` for installing pnpm packages, ensuring reproducible
installs.
- Disabled GitHub release creation by the changeset action.
- Refactored the `/build` directory structure for clarity and
maintainability.
- Added a `clean` command to `docks/package.json`.
- Experimentally added `knip` to the `zitadel-client` package for
improved linting of dependencies and exports.
# Additional Changes
- Fixed Makefile commands for consistency and reliability.
- Improved the structure and clarity of the `/build` directory to
support seamless integration of the login build.
- Enhanced documentation and developer experience for running and
debugging CI checks locally.
# Additional Context
- See updated `CONTRIBUTING.md` for new local development and debugging
instructions.
- These changes are a prerequisite for further improvements to the CI
pipeline and local development workflow.
- Closes#10276
